We released 4 new episodes of @TheRestHistory this week.

Two marked the 2070th anniversary of Caesar's CROSSING OF THE RUBICON
The second episode took us to the banks of the Rubicon itself. What did Caesar really say as he hesitated before making the crossing?
Then we released two more anniversary episodes: this time to mark 1922, and to explore the degree to which the year stands - as Ezra Pound claimed it did - as the beginning of the modern.
